Nice layout. It appears the animals are cared for. There were a few birds that looked as though they could have used a little more space and foilage. There are a lot of beautiful birds and animals. We recommend a visit.

Beautiful and clean place with helpful personal. There's a lot of animals, birds and reptiles to watch. The lady in the entry told me that see everything would take me like an hour and half but it take me three including a short canopy.

Please like my review if you found it helpful. Its so sad to say that going to visit this zoo was more entertaining and much more eventful then going to Manuel Antonio. I know its a zoo, you're expected to see animals, but in my opinion, it was the icing on the cake. We saw amazing birds, parrots, toucans, iguanas, monkeys, turtles, snakes, wild cats and 2 sloths. Its completely outdoors, very clean and very friendly staff. We did the whole tour slowly which took us about 2 hours walking slowly. They also have ziplines available and is a great introduction to ziplining if you never did it before. The park is very affordable $20 per adult and i cant remember, but it was cheaper for the kids. At the end there is a ice cream shop and also a restaurant. So its not Manuel Antonio and it does not have beaches of Manuel Antonio but it does have animals to see.

I really enjoyed venturing through this park. There’s many different species here but they have large, caged environments (which is great) but it’s difficult to see everything. The park is easy to navigate. Expect to spend up to an hour here. This park supports the conservation of wildlife in Costa Rica, which is hugely important so please take some time to visit!

Zoo Ave a nice zoo that is good for the full family. The zoo is a nice size and makes for a nice half-day trip if you're in the area. There is a great selection of animals here including monkeys, birds, reptiles, and lots more. Zoo Ave is definitely worth checking out for any animal fans.

Love this place! Such a tranquil setting in the jungle with lots of up close animal encounters. A great way to spend the afternoon with the family. Highly recommend!

I been visiting Zoo Ave every year since I was a child. Even now that I live in US and I get to go back to Costa Rica I pass by here. Nice set up for rescue and rehabilitating animals and releasing them if they can survive in wild. Theres also a great Costa Rican restaurant across the road. Open air seating (with roof) and traditional Costa Rican food.

Small enclosures for animals. Good place for kids. Nice restaurant.

Zoo Ave is a great place to walk and see many birds, reptiles, monkeys, and others. There's a restaurant, a small souvenir's shop and a 3 cables zip Line tour. It's clean, free parking (please tip the security guard ) and affordable entrance fee. The staff members are friendly and professional. The iguanas are HUGE and they roam free. Allocate at least 3 hrs to visit Zoo Ave. You'll see more birds here than at any private bird watching tour!

There are many, many species of birds here, all beautiful. There were also several Old World and New World primates. In additional, there were literally hundreds of turtles, a few deer, and even sloths. At the time of our family visit, there were no animals in the nocturnal, jaguar, and cariblanco enclosures. Of great enjoyment were the wandering lizards and peacocks that frequently roamed in front of us. My only complaint is the entrance fee. There are often price differences for nationals and foreigners, but the price difference here was 3 times for a child's ticket. Avoid the on-site restaurant which was also terribly over-priced.

Nice park to see some different wild animals, the place is great to spend the morning and it's located in Alajuela but it's near to San José around one hour. The place is great but I visited some years ago and there is not changes. Besides I consider the price of entrance it's so expensive. You can see here a lot of birds, wild cats, monkeys, a crocodile and other animals.

Small zoo, can be seen in less than 2 hours. My family has been to this zoo several times and always loved it. It's good for all ages - teens love it too. Entrance is a bit pricey.
